How long can you hold your breath underwater?

[Layafell]

A bit over a minute or so

[goldfleur]

40-50 seconds

This pic gives me hella anxiety lol. My fear is drowning is bad.

Usually 1 minute and 15 secs without any prep but with prep just under two minutes. There is a trick you can use to hold your breath longer. You have to take deep breaths for about 3 minutes beforehand, prior to holding it

[Aerissa_Jade]

Held it for up to 3 minutes before, more common is 2.5 minutes.

It depends on my level of exertion.

If I'm just floating face down in the water, then about 2 1/2 minutes. If I'm actively swimming underwater, then about a minute, maybe 1 1/2 minutes.

Pretty long! I used to swim competitively, and still fit so I have no problems and I have experience doing it. I have never timed it but guessing it’s around 2-3 min.

[NathanDavis]

I just timed it... and it was 88 seconds

but I am sure it would be less in a "real life situation"

[douride2]

About the same as above water. Probably less then 30 seconds.

[Lynx122]

I could do 2 minutes the last time I tried but that was 12 years ago. I could probably do a minute or a bit more now but I don't know exactly.

[Andres77]

About the same as above water.
Right now, about 45 seconds.
When I was really fit, my max was 2:00 and swimming the length of a 50 meter pool underwater on one breath.

[Daniela1982]

1/2 hour but pass out after about 3 min.

[Lynx122]

Drowning doesn't count :D

[Daniela1982]

@Lynx122 Drat!

I could hold my breath for 3 minutes but now it is probably half that.

[bean2k21]

My sister and I timed it when I was little. It was about 90 seconds.

[DaveToo]

It used to be 5 minutes while working. Longer if I'm just sitting on the floor of the pool.

[najekim]

Use to be a couple minutes. Now maybe a couple seconds. . . ;)

[Dinosaursandanime65]

I think about 10 seconds. Maybe longer now. It’s been a while since I went swimming.

[Anonymous]

Probably 60 seconds or a little more.

[Likes2drive]

Few minutes I guess

[emperor90]

Like for 40 seconds

I don't
